Our family is a huge fan of air fryers and this is our second one. This one appealed to us for its larger capacity and fancy features. The unique features definitely sets it apart from our other air fryer. Most notably would be the design. Most air fryers have a basket that slides in and out of the front of the unit. This one has a top that pops up and the basket sits inside. The main benefit of this is that the coating on the basket is experiencing less friction making it last longer. The coating on my other fryer, which isn’t that old, is already wearing off. The basket also involves fewer parts which makes it easy to clean. The basket components are dishwasher safe.
Another great feature of this fryer is the light with the transparent window. It lights up for 10 second increments followed by 20 seconds of not being lit up. The fryer front look uniformly dark when it is not lit up. This allows you to visually assess the crispiness of your food without having to stop the cooking process. This in turn retains the heat in the unit and saves on cooking time.
It also has a self stirring mechanism that can be turned off and on during cooking. I found that for best results it is better to use it for brief periods of time instead of leaving it on for the entire cooking period. Leaving it on tended to result in having the food break apart during cooking. Especially when cooking small soft items like tater tots.
The controls are easy to use and it has some presets. The size of the basket is quite large which makes the unit itself quite substantial. Definitely takes up some space on the counter but not so much that I would not want to use it. Size is equivalent to having a toaster oven or a Keurig coffee unit on your counter. It is less portable than the typical smaller air fryer units.
I would say the only con on this product is that it doesn’t seem to get the food as crunchy as my other air fryer which was surprising. Still great for reheating left overs and cooking all those usual frozen foods that you put in the oven. It is handy for making single serving meals. We use this air fryer almost daily.

I was disappointed with this product. It uses ALOT of energy! It takes longer to use this air fryer than to cook the food in a skillet, or to bake it in the oven. The amount of cupboard space for storing could be a real problem if you have a small kitchen, and it takes up a lot of room on the counter as well. Not only is this air fryer, bulky to use and store, but you have to allow space around the fryer while it is cooking. I would definitely NOT recommend this product.

The description mentions a rotisserie, but none of the pictures show it and the video is all kinds of models. Does this one actually have a rotisserie skewer (Home Depot descriptions aren't always correct) and has anyone tried it?

Asked by: SavvyCat

We received the ModernHome Cyclone Rotating Digital Air Fryer a couple of months ago from Home Depot (model #CDA-798). We didn't receive any type of rotisserie with our unit, only what they are calling the SecureStir accessory, which is basically a short tapered paddle that helps stir smaller items, such as vegetables or tater tots (see pictures). Nowhere in my literature that came with it or on the box does it talk anything about a rotisserie as mentioned in the online description. Unless it has been recently added to the same model number that we have it doesn't have this feature. That would be a benefit to this fryer, but I cannot find any type of a rotisserie available online for it.

Why are the larger capacity fryers Less wattage ? Is higher better?

Asked by: Vonnie

I don't think higher watts necessarily means that its better. I think higher watts mean your food cooks way faster than even this air fryer, but at the same time, I would want my food to take a sufficient amount of time to still cook because I want it to be thoroughly cooked than to be cooked really fast? This cyclone air fryer cooks fast as it is but I think it's the right amount of fast? Haha. I hope that helps!

Needs much higher wattage to compete with other air fryers. It's very under powered for it's size. Takes too long to cook consequently drying food out.

You can easily fry chicken wings or even a small chicken in here or fried vegetables. At most you might use some sprayed on cooking oil, but it would never amount to more than a tablespoon in my opinion. And it comes out perfectly. Love tater tots and french fries in here. And air fried broccoli crowns are some of the best.
I would advise if you ever fried fish in there to line the bottom with tin foil. Beyond that, you can do anything you want in this.
The temperature is true to degree and the settings on the menu are helpful, even though I usually just use my own personal preferences.
Some other easy foods to make are patty melts, grilled cheeses, skewered shrimp & veggies. And you can not forget hot dogs. It gives it the most awesome taste ever.

I've never used an air fryer before and I was quite intimidated by it at first, but it's SO easy to use. The presets are helpful in guiding anything you want to cook and it also comes with a recipe book that gives you the time and temperature settings to use. I cooked brussel sprouts in it for my family and they turned out nicely roasted and crispy. There's a pedal on the inside that turns the food for you. I also like that there is a clear window to keep an eye on my food as well so you don't have to constantly open and close the air fryer to check on them. This morning, I made myself an omelette and didn't even have to flip it! Amazing results especially for healthy eating so this exceeded my expectations of air frying. The critic in me wishes that this would not be as large as it is but understandable since it's able to cook in larger capacities. Otherwise, definitely a great product and worth having!

We first used it to make sweet potato French fries (recipe provided in a small cookbook that comes in the box) we followed the instructions turning them over half way through the cooking cycle. They were good but not quite as crunchy as I would have liked. We then made fried chicken, choosing to cook the whole bird instead of separating it into pieces. Even though we turned it over once during cooking, there were a couple of places that were not 100% done inside. The outside was wonderfully brown and crispy so I think we need more practice. Overall it does a good job and probably uses less energy that the oven, but it takes about the same amount of time.

Great for Kids + Adults AlikeOur kids and their friends all love snacks like pizza rolls, frozen sweet potato fries, mini samosas, curly fries, chicken nuggets, etc, and this machine is great for all the above and more. We don’t have to turn on our oven or wait 10 minutes for it to preheat - this fryer heats up In minutes.
My husband and I also made some chicken wings and bacon, both of which turned out well.
If you look online you’ll see that people are using small baking pans to make desserts so we tried it out and it worked well. I guess it’s all hot air and fans so anything can work in here.
Wayyyy better than using microwave. We haven’t touched it since buying this.

I chose this one because you can see inside the air fryer when the heating lamps are on, unlike other models. Successfully made steak (actually good, I know!), chicken (juicy and less than 30 minutes), crispy onion rings, vegetables, and fish so far.
Really ideal for healthy cooking or people trying to lose weight.. I can definitely see myself eating better thanks to this.
The optional spinning arm is really cool - you don't have to shake or stir your your vegetables or french fries, etc.
The recipe book in there is a nice way to get started and learn the ropes, but you can just keep an eye on your food and do as you please (some like fish flakier and some like it softer, etc) Easy to clean too. Overall solid purchase.

I tried to make french fries from fresh potatoes, french fries from a bag (frozen), tater tots (frozen), chicken nuggets, chicken strips (both frozen) and fresh bacon.
Despite several tries, I could not get my french fries made from fresh potatoes to come out nicely. They looked completely beautiful, but were always a little soggy. The pre-made frozen fries and chicken strips came out pretty good.
The fresh bacon was my favorite. Cooking it at 350F makes it not too crispy. At 390F it is crispy, but not burnt. Following the suggestions from the internet, I put a little water in the bottom to control smoking.
The rotating arm can be turned on and off, or removed completely. I found it useful for the frozen fries. It completely smooshed the frozen tater tots (made them into hash browns - still tasty! ;-)
I am torn about how useful this would be for most people. If you have an oven, the results will be similar. It does have advantages - I think it is safer then the full sized oven (built in timer, turns off automatically when opened, small so less likely to burn a careless hand) and the air fryer warms up faster, and the basket and rack is dishwasher safe, which makes cleanup easier.
If you have a small apartment or dorm, this might add a little flexibility to limited cooking options. It does make smoke, depending on what you cook, so plan on ventilation or expect to set off some smoke alarms!
The controls are very simple - an on/off switch in the middle, a button that lets you choose among some pre-set recipes, a button that turns the stirring on and off, and buttons to change the temperature and time.
